In first three weeks of program your clinician will introduce you to our private online learning platform and resource library with all the tools you need to succeed.  Individualized meetings are aimed at introducing key concepts of Over-Control Coping, Radical Openness, Social Signaling, and Self-Enquiry.

    Treatment Phase

    • Private Sessions: Personal weekly meetings an RO DBT Therapist.  Each meeting is structured with an agenda to discuss risk factors, participant motivation and engagement, review of diary card, behavior and solution chain analysis, self-enquiry and skills practice.  Diary card tracking and continued practice of skills outside of session is expected to continue the growth process.

This weekly skills class introduces 30 skills of psychological health including flexibility, openness, and fostering healthy connections.
